Structural fittings and fixings form the backbone of safe, durable construction, connecting timber, masonry, and steelwork to create buildings that stand the test of time. From heavy-duty angle brackets to versatile connector plates, these essential metalwork components ensure load transfer and structural integrity across residential extensions, commercial builds, and renovation projects throughout Ireland.
Our Structural Fittings Range
McMahons stocks a comprehensive selection of structural connectors designed for demanding construction applications.
- Galvanised angle brackets in various sizes for timber-to-timber and timber-to-masonry connections, offering corrosion resistance for both interior and exposed applications.
- Heavy-duty post anchors and base plates engineered to secure vertical timbers to concrete foundations, distributing loads evenly and preventing moisture contact.
- Connector plates and nail plates for joining timber members at corners, splices, and intersections without compromising structural strength.
- Framing anchors and hurricane ties providing uplift resistance and lateral bracing for roof trusses and rafter connections.
- Timber-to-steel connectors enabling hybrid construction methods while meeting current building regulations for load-bearing assemblies.
These structural fixings work alongside our Joist Hangers and Wall Ties & Restraints to provide complete connection solutions for your build.
Selecting appropriate fittings depends on load requirements, material types being connected, and environmental exposure. Consider galvanised or stainless steel options for external applications, and always check manufacturer load tables against your structural engineer's specifications.
